V1.5 (upcoming release)
* You can now use OpenSSL or GNUTLS as the TLS back-end (compile time option).
* Python bindings. You can use iksemel from Python as an XMPP client library
  or as a very fast and memory efficient XML parser.

V1.4 (2009-07-25)
* Some previously rejected valid UTF8 sequences are now accepted.
* Whitespace is allowed between attribute name, equal sign and value.
* Small fixes all around (see ChangeLog).

V1.3 (2007-08-02)
* Project is moved to
    http://code.google.com/p/iksemel/
  there is also a new mailing list at:
    http://groups.google.com/group/iksemel
  Please use those instead of old jabberstudio.org addresses.
* iksemel is now participating in Coverity Inc's free software
  quality improvement program (http://scan.coverity.com). As a
  first result, a few problems found by Coverity's static analysis
  tool in the iks_sasl_challenge() are fixed in this release, and
  other than that, iksemel passes from defect test with no problems.
* Extra padding problem in the base64 encoder is fixed. Some servers
  were having problems with extra '=' padded SASL digests.
* New dom functions: iks_append(), iks_prepend(), iks_append_cdata(),
  iks_prepend_cdata(). You can append/prepend new nodes within the
  siblings with them, insert_ functions were only appending at the
  last child. Thus editing a tree is much easier now.
* iks_load was giving error on files with multiply of 4Kb sizes, fixed.

V1.2 (2004-08-06)
* SASL authentication.
* SSH connections via gnutls library.
* Socket code abstracted, you can even provide your own transport functions.
* Compiles on Windows with MinGW.
* iks_sha_print() uses lowercase hex numbers to comply with latest jabber.
* New stack implementation, much faster and uses less memory.
  Unfortunately API has changed a bit:
  iks_stack_strcat, strcatv, print functions removed.
  iks_stack_stats modified.
  iks_stack_strecat renamed to iks_stack_strcat.
  iks_stack_new takes two chunk sizes, one for structures one for strings.
  iks_stack_strdup returns (char *).

V1.1 (2003-09-11)
* Minor sax parser speed up.
* iks_string() and dom parser performance is improved greatly.
* iksperf: new tool for measuring iksemel performance.
* ikslint: better error checking. supports stdin. can display tag usage histogram.
* New dom functions: iks_copy(), iks_copy_within(), iks_root(), iks_tree().
* License of the documentation changed to GPL from GNU FDL.

V1.0 (2003-06-29)
* API redesigned.
* iconv interface removed.
* ikslint and iksroster tools.
* Jabber packet filter.
* IPv6 support.
* iks_find_with_attrib, iks_next_tag, iks_prev_tag, iks_first_tag functions.
* Parser improvements (CDATA sections, comments, UTF8 validity checks)
* Memory pools are replaced with object stacks.

V0.1 (2002-10-30)
* First release.
